Endografts, Pressure, and the Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm
(2010-07-14)
Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) are an expansion in diameter of the
abdominal aorta and their rupture is a leading cause of mortality. One of the treatments
for AAA is the implantation of an endograft (also called a stent ...
A Model for Nonlinear Electrokinetics in Electric Field Guided Assembly of Colloids
(2011-02-22)
Electric field guided assembly of colloids is a new area of research in colloidal science where sub-micrometer particles, or colloids, are assembled using patterned electrodes. The design of these devices is often limited ...
Modeling of Shape Memory Alloys Considering Rate-independent and Rate-dependent Irrecoverable Strains
(2011-02-22)
This dissertation addresses new developments in the constitutive modeling and
structural analysis pertaining to rate-independent and rate-dependent irrecoverable
inelasticity in Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs). A new model for ...
